Yeah, all right. Let me get some of his shit. Yeah, for it. All right, cool. This punch is. But this is what I want to ask y'all. Because y'all was so popping

Y'all was so popping What made you want to put pun on your record At that time? We were just, it was, like I said It was a mutual respect, you know He was a big fan of ours We thought he was amazing You know, we hooked up a couple of times

To his house It was just like I told you It was really just friends doing the record together It was friends, mutual respect Doing the record together It wasn't like, oh, you know, can I get on the record. We, nothing like that. We was just like,

let's just do something crazy. But did you, did you? The phone was coming to Queens? In your ear? He was coming to Brooklyn. Yeah, in your ear. Yeah. That's by, that's by Queens. It used to be all up in there. He used to come with his nine-milly,

put it on top of this shit. He used to do it. They got a little notebook with him. They almost killed him and left front. When he did that, because he came out, he was like, oh, what his pop here? And nobody's like, They were like, what?

No, he said, where's Norrie at? And everyone was like, at that time, nobody knows what he called me poppy. So he pulled it out. And then everybody said, yo, we're going to kill this fat nigga. And now I'm like, oh, shit. I come outside. I'm like, oh, shit, no, you can't do nothing. You can't touch him.

But you guys was the first person to put him on his first feature. Yeah. I really need y'all to get into depth. of how because you know why because after that record it was over yeah it was over like if you if you ask me my personal

solo career it's it's in our no um no you know your record you know all you

So the thing is, Capone was in jail. He can't, he can't relate to it. Capone was in jail. That's a big record. But I get the reference of why he's saying that. But what I'm saying is, pun's record was y'all record. Like when pun came on y'all shit, it was over. Yeah.

So did y'all know that? Nah, I think it was just destiny. Like I told you, man, it was just some friends getting together. I actually hated that record. I only rhymed eight bars on it because I like... Of the books? Yeah, because listen.

Who produced you? We were doing the Stone Crazy album, which is all dark. We had fucking screwball on there. You know, like... It was a really dark album. So, dude, it really stuck out like a song. Who made you...

Whose idea wasn't the foot put on it? I wasn't in that mold. Let me tell you. Let me pick up on the story. Whose idea was it put bun? Right? This nigga wasn't feeling the beat. So we had another beat called Robden Stowe.

And it was fire too. Fired, fire. Yeah. So we was like, fuck it. We're going to let Pund decide. So we drove to the Bronx. Bung was like, yo, I like robbed and stole. But if we do this one, we're going to blow.

We're going to blow. He said it. He said it. Those are exact words. If we do this one, we're going to blow. So he was like, say no more Word. You know,

nigger didn't even fit in many fans. You had to pull out the whole back seat. The whole back seat so he could just fucking lay in there. Big shout to my man.

Big shout to my nigga, so much. That's real. That's make you know it. One of y'all taking it from here? I mean, after that, it was a done deal. We went to the studio.

And what studio was this? This is probably? Brooklyn, because we was in this. You know what your Brooklyn? Yeah. No, we recorded. That was out of my house. Yeah.

You're only putting in Brooklyn. Yeah. Wow. Not like flaw. Because, you know, they used to give us budgets back then for studio. So instead of going to studio, we bought equipment.

No, we bought equipment with that budget. And we caught it out of equipment. Yeah. That's another thing. And it's a relativity? And not engineered. We did all that shit ourselves. Relativity.

Yeah, relative. And you all of relativity. Yeah. So how. Produce, engineer, all that shit. How does this happen? Because I imagine Fat Joe was sitting there saying, why do y'all want? Pond.

He was clueless to the fact that we were doing the record. Fat Joe wasn't even in the picture. We were going straight with punning. It wasn't like it was a big. That was, you got James. Make somebody. Salute. Salute.

I saw I was doing a bump after this shit. And it's so good. I mean, honestly, you know what I'm saying? It was like everybody was just kind of doing their thing at that time. So it was like, you know. I went and sat on the little ottoman in front of him. I was, hi, dad. And just when I said that, my mom comes out of the kitchen.

She says, I have some cookies and milk. This is a badass convict. Right. Just finished five years. I'm going to have cookies and milk at my mom. Yeah. On the Seno Show podcast, each episode invites you into a raw, unfiltered conversations. about recovery, resilience, and redemption.

Rodriguez. Welcome back to Dos Amigos. Dos Amigos season two, baby. This time, we're going even deeper into our careers, our lives, our art, and everything in between. Each episode emanates from our very own speakeasy, where we swap stories about the moments that really shaped us on and off camera. What do we invest in right now? What is the immediate advice you give people right now? is to value time to be cognizant of time and how important time is because once the time is up, it's up, and then that's it. And the relationships, collaborations, and even the failures that push us to grow. And the common denominator is that we have the same people with us since, like, 30, 40 years ago, right? Like, we have a lot of the same homies that stuck around. Plus, the door always stays open for a third amigo to pull up a chair.

That chorus, we was all in the room thinking of a chorus. I remember we was thinking, so I'm going through my notebook. because back then everything was no books.

Did y'all know? And that's it. It was history. Okay, did you know that that one record birthed a legend? Like, y'all birthed? I mean, the part of we get big and small. I'm happy to have been a part of this journey. I'm thinking about, I think he was going to be that.

A monster regardless, you know, but we did throw some heat. It would have been, yo, what, what? You know, you know, I think he was going to stop that machine. He was going to do it regardless, but we did throw him some fire. Yeah, yeah, that's a classic record. That was a classic record. That was. So you guys are still signed to loud.

I couldn't wait to you. Like, you know, we used to be serious with the digging. Like, you know, well, that's another story. But, um, no other story. No, I just thought it was like no ID. Common Sense. Common Sense. No idea.

Common Sense. Because remember Common Sense was on our label. Yep, yep. So, Common Sense first album, Can I borrow a dollar? Like, we did remixes on that shit. Yeah? So, you know, like, I remember going to Chicago and fucking with No ID.

Because, you know, me and my man, VIC, like, no idea. Early, like, we... I didn't do so about the movie. We actually, and fuck it, I'm saying the truth. We taught that nigga No ID how to dig. Like, I used to be in No ID basement, Kanye West, like this. I'm in interviews where that nigga Kanye was like, I'm trying to take it from when he came out early.

He's like, I'm trying to take it back to that beat. No, for sure. He definitely was a fan of it. So, you know, like that being said, whatever, that was, I was talking about how excited me and this thing was just to flip shit, because he was like how it was. Because then, back then, Kanye was a Kanye. So, yeah.

He was coming out. He was the school that Kanye came from. Yeah, like, honestly. That's a student. I say that with the utmost respect. I think he's amazing. He's talented. He was really like, you know.

And they, you know, they're both amazing. And I'm proud to shit to say that dumb niggas, you know. That's the open bottle. Because I did. Kanye's definitely a student. Yes. It's an open bottle right here. And I'm God.

That's what I'm supposed to do. I'm supposed to add on. You come hang around me. I'm adding on. You know what I'm saying? So, of course, no ID in Kanye Wessex is successful from watching me and my man. You know, they took it to the next. That's right.

Elevation. Exactly. Elevation. You know? Got to. You got to. You got to. You got to.

You got to. You got to. You got to. Do that, goddamn. Mr. Lord. Your word was the Kahnian, y'all were the Neptune at that time in your school.

And at me personally, I didn't know that you produced everything and did everything mixed engineering. Yeah, that was a, yeah. I mean, I didn't know that person for me. It was a time when fuck, remember? I mean, coming from native tongues, like everybody was a group.

How did I even get down with these? We all, everybody produced themselves. Everybody produced themselves. Yeah. I produce the jungle, putting us, like, we come from,

that shit, that shit, but how did they even get down when they did talk? You know how? I'm gonna tell you this story because this is shit.

Me and my man, we were already boys, you know, from the hood, digging on that. Then, you know, niggots,

I got kicked out of high school, we got kicked out of high school, so the hanging out shit at our boys' house, that shit kind of faded. So we were still, he was still digging. I was still digging,

doing my hair. That's digging for record. Yeah, digging for record. I bet. So then, I'm at downstairs records one day. I'm gonna just try to run to the shit.

That's the shit in the village. It's fucking boring. But anyway, yeah, no, it was, uh, it was down. It was good to the point how you met Africa. Yeah, I'm in Africa at the record shop. Bombard? No, Africa.

Jungle brothers. They already had Jim Brownski. Yeah. It was big. So, you know. Yeah. Yeah. You didn't square Rose land already.

That was huge. Yeah. It was blind. So, you know, we was doing the, you know, we was in there, the records I've seen in and they're like, oh shit, it's African for me. So we're standing online to pay for our records at the same time. He was a little short. I'm like, this is Africa from the fucking Jungle Brothers. What is it?

What is it? $3, $4, whatever it is. Jim Browski days, whatever. I'm not saying this for any other than I was. He's not asking me. He's telling me. He's actually asking you. No, but I'm saying, you know, because I don't want nobody to get.

the wrong idea like oh you pay for that niggas records that's what it wasn't that we're both kind of in the he was so he was so cool to me in the record shop that I was like what you're a couple of dollars short here boom god that who he's talking about again after I'm jungle brothers no you got to relax so um so from that day you know from that day forward He was, you know, he was like, man, this little nigga cool. Yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, the next thing you know, I'm getting invited to the studio,

come through, we over here, everything. Now I'm cool. Now I'm Jungle Brother Juju. Ah. That's how. See me? Wow. See?

One good act of things. Listen, that's how shit happens. Then I start, you know, then I'm into studio. I'm bringing records. Chris Lighty sees what happening. next thing you know, he has an artist Chi Ali, now I'm the victim of a Friday idea. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Wait a minute. Hold on. You can't, you can't let that as an artist. It was his artist, but we tell us about the Tia Lee. We're about to interview Tia Lee. All right, very simple. Well, anyway, as far as, I'm trying to like, it's a long, you know, it's a lot of shit. I'm just trying to cut to do it. But that's how shit happens. Anyway, next thing you know, me and that niggas friends.

That nigga. Africa from the Jungle Brothers. You know what I'm saying? Because of whatever, that good deed. And then, you know, I'd start showing and proving from there. Because he was like, this little nigger. You know? Then my man, we did

a little radio promo where them niggins shouting me out and psycho let us hurt. It was like the first one that we did. Psycho him me was like, yo, you still fucking round, boom? I was like, yeah. you still doing this shit? Yeah.

And that's how y'all connected. Yeah, because, you know, because we had split up after the whole high school shit. Yeah. So we kind of lost contact with each other. So when you heard me on the radio, he had me and I was like, yeah, man, come on.

Now we're betting now the formula. You're like, my man is old. I'm getting in. I'm in. Yeah. No, that's the way it's supposed to be. That same is basically our story in a different form.

and everybody else, he was the only one. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? That's crazy. So then, you know, then like I said, that shit led to,

you know, we're hanging around, Chris Lighty's road manager at this time. Yeah, he has no, he has no, he has no idea of being any kind of,
